Our history

The establishment of JMAC Europe is only one step in a journey begun in 1942 in Tokyo, with the constitution of JMA (Japan Management Association), today the leading association for Japanese companies. First as a consultancy division, then (since 1980) as a subsidiary of Japan Management Association, it can be said that JMAC is one of the main players of the industrial success of Japan.
Since the postwar period JMAC has contributed to the development and implementation of methods that have made the Japanese management culture famous around the world. JMAC has also helped develop the TPS (Toyota Production System) which includes a few techniques universally known (e.g.: Just in Time, Lean Production, SMED, Visible Planning®, etc..).
Furthermore, JMAC has been developing some of the most regarded methods for the improvement and transformation of business processes (i.e.: supply chain, manufacturing, logistics) as well as for the design of new products.
